Woe to the Complacent

Woe to those who are at ease in Zion,
    and to those confident on the mount of Samaria,
nobles of the first of the nations,
    to whom the house of Israel comes!

    and go from there to Hamath the great;
    then go down to Gath of the Philistines—

    Or is their territory greater than your territory?

    to whom the people of Israel come!(E)
Go to Kalneh(F) and look at it;
    go from there to great Hamath,(G)
    and then go down to Gath(H) in Philistia.
Are they better off than(I) your two kingdoms?
    Is their land larger than yours?
